Escort distributions are a simple one parameter deformation of an original distribution p. In Tsallis extended thermostatistics, the escort-averages, defined with respect to an escort dis- tribution, have revealed useful in order to obtain analytical results and variational equations, with in particular the equilibrium distributions obtained as maxima of Rényi-Tsallis entropy subject to constraints in the form of a q-average. A central example is the q-gaussian, which is a generalization of the standard gaussian distribution.

In many of them, it is possible to associate an energy spectrum and one can show that these types of phenomena are intimately related to Tsallis entropy Sq. The relevant parameters become: (i) The entropic index q, which is directly related to the power of the corresponding distribution; (ii) The ground-state energy #0, in terms of which all energies are rescaled. One verifies that the corresponding processes take place at a temperature Tq with kTq ∝ #0 (i.e., isothermal processes, for a given q), in analogy with those in the class of self-organized criticality, which are known to occur at fixed temperatures. Typical examples are analyzed, like earthquakes, avalanches, and forest fires, and in some of them, the entropic index q and value of Tq are estimated. The knowledge of the associated entropic form opens the possibility for a deeper understanding of such phenomena, particularly by using information theory and optimization procedures.

The distributions of magnetic field strength B observed in the heliosheath are Gaussian over a wide range of scales, yet the measured profile appears to be filamentary with occasional large jumps in the magnetic field strengthB(t) . All of the probability distributions of changes in B,dBn { B(t ϩ t) Ϫ B(t) on scales t from 1 to 128 days, can be fit with the symmetric Tsallis distribution of nonextensive statistical mechanics. At scales ≥32 days, the distributions are Gaussian, but on scales from 1 through 16 days the probability distribution functions have non-Gaussian tails, suggesting that the inner heliosheath is not in statistical equilibrium on scales from 1 to 16 days. Subject headings: magnetic fields — solar wind — turbulence — waves 1. INTRODUCTION is expressed by the form of u in the distribution function. In The solar wind moves supersonically beyond a few solar Tsallis statistical mechanics, the probability that a system is in a state with energy u is proportional toexp (Ϫ u) .

    Generalized Ensemble Theory with Non-extensive Statistics Ke-Ming Shen,∗ Ben-Wei Zhang,y and En-Ke Wang Key Laboratory of Quark & Lepton Physics (MOE) and Institute of Particle Physics, Central China Normal University, Wuhan 430079, China (Dated: October 17, 2018) The non-extensive canonical ensemble theory is reconsidered with the method of Lagrange multipliers by maximizing Tsallis entropy, with the constraint that the normalized term of P q Tsallis' q−average of physical quantities, the sum pj , is independent of the probability pi for Tsallis parameter q. The self-referential problem in the deduced probability and thermal quantities in non-extensive statistics is thus avoided, and thermodynamical relationships are obtained in a consistent and natural way. We also extend the study to the non-extensive grand canonical ensemble theory and obtain the q-deformed Bose-Einstein distribution as well as the q-deformed Fermi-Dirac distribution. The theory is further applied to the general- ized Planck law to demonstrate the distinct behaviors of the various generalized q-distribution functions discussed in literature. I. INTRODUCTION In the last thirty years the non-extensive statistical mechanics, based on Tsallis entropy [1,2] and the corresponding deformed exponential function, has been developed and attracted a lot of attentions with a large amount of applications in rather diversified fields [3]. Tsallis non- extensive statistical mechanics is a generalization of the common Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) statistical PW mechanics by postulating a generalized entropy of the classical one, S = −k i=1 pi ln pi: W X q Sq = −k pi lnq pi ; (1) i=1 where k is a positive constant and denotes Boltzmann constant in BG statistical mechanics.

ABSTRACT We briefly review the present status of nonextensive statistical mechanics. We focus on (i) the cen- tral equations of the formalism, (ii) the most recent applications in physics and other sciences, (iii) the a priori determination (from microscopic dynamics) of the entropic index q for two important classes of physical systems, namely low-dimensional maps (both dissipative and conservative) and long-range interacting many-body hamiltonian classical systems. Key words: nonextensive statistical mechanics, entropy, complex systems. 1 CENTRAL EQUATIONS OF NONEXTENSIVE STATISTICAL MECHANICS Nonextensive statistical mechanics and thermodynamics were introduced in 1988 [1], and further developed in 1991 [2] and 1998 [3], with the aim of extending the domain of applicability of statistical mechanical procedures to systems where Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) thermal statistics and standard thermodynamics present serious mathematical difficulties or just plainly fail. Indeed, a rapidly increasing number of systems are pointed out in the literature for which the usual functions appearing in BG statistics appear to be violated. Some of these cases are satisfactorily handled within the formalism we are here addressing (see [4] for reviews and [5] for a regularly updated bibliography which includes crucial contributions and clarifications that many scientists have given along the years).

With many applications in several areas, the Tsallis statistics have been discussed in detail in many works and triggered an interesting discussion on the most deep meaning of entropy and its role in complex systems. Some possible mechanisms that could give rise to non-extensive statistics have been formulated over the last several years, in particular a fractal structure in thermodynamic functions was recently proposed as a possible origin for non-extensive statistics in physical systems. In the present work, we investigate the properties of such fractal thermodynamical system and propose a diagrammatic method for calculations of relevant quantities related to such a system.

    Thermodynamics from First Principles: Correlations and Nonextensivity

    Thermodynamics from first principles: correlations and nonextensivity S. N. Saadatmand,1, ∗ Tim Gould,2 E. G. Cavalcanti,3 and J. A. Vaccaro1 1Centre for Quantum Dynamics, Griffith University, Nathan, QLD 4111, Australia. 2Qld Micro- and Nanotechnology Centre, Griffith University, Nathan, QLD 4111, Australia. 3Centre for Quantum Dynamics, Griffith University, Gold Coast, QLD 4222, Australia. (Dated: March 17, 2020) The standard formulation of thermostatistics, being based on the Boltzmann-Gibbs distribution and logarithmic Shannon entropy, describes idealized uncorrelated systems with extensive energies and short-range interactions. In this letter, we use the fundamental principles of ergodicity (via Liouville's theorem), the self-similarity of correlations, and the existence of the thermodynamic limit to derive generalized forms of the equilibrium distribution for long-range-interacting systems. Significantly, our formalism provides a justification for the well-studied nonextensive thermostatistics characterized by the Tsallis distribution, which it includes as a special case. We also give the complementary maximum entropy derivation of the same distributions by constrained maximization of the Boltzmann-Gibbs-Shannon entropy. The consistency between the ergodic and maximum entropy approaches clarifies the use of the latter in the study of correlations and nonextensive thermodynamics. Introduction. The ability to describe the statistical tion [30] or the structure of the microstates [27].

In thermostatistics, the statistical ciple to apply to a different entropy functional in place of BGS state of a system of N particles in equilibrium is de- S (fwzg).

Correlations are induced through a transformation of a multivariate Gaussian distribution with covariance matrix decaying out from the unit diagonal, as ρ/rα for r =1, 2, …, N-1, where r indicates displacement from the diagonal and where 0 6 ρ 6 1 and α > 0. We show numerically that the sum of the N dependent random variables is well modeled by a compact support q-Gaussian distribution. In the particular case of α = 0 we obtain q = (1-5/3 ρ) / (1- ρ), a result validated analytically in a recent paper by Hilhorst and Schehr. Our present results with these q-Gaussian approximants precisely mimic the behavior expected in the frame of non-extensive statistical mechanics.

CBPF-NF-001/94 1 1 Limitations of Boltzmann-Gibbs Statistics 1.1 Intro duction The qualitative and quantitative success of Boltzmann-Gibbs (BG) Statistical Mechan- ics (and, naturally, of its particular cases, the Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein quantum statistics, with their common high temp erature asymptotic limit, the classical Maxwell- Boltzmann statistics) is so ubiquitous, persistent and delicate that not few physicists and chemists have a kind of strong (not necessarily rationalized) feeling that this brilliant for- malism is, in practical terms, universal, eternal and in nitely precise. A more balanced analysis reveals some of its sp eci c limitations and inadequacies, and consequently the fragility or nonuniversality of some of the basic hyp othesis of its foundations. Among these foundation stones, a privileged p osition is detained by the entropy S ,asintro duced R and used by Boltzmann and Gibbs (S = k dxf (x)lnf (x) for classical distribution B laws f (x) de ned in phase space), further generalized byvon Neumann (S = k Tr ln , B b eing the density op erator de ned in Hilb ert or Fock spaces), with its diagonal form W (S = k p ln p , p b eing the probability of the i-th among W microstates, and its B i i i i=1 famous equal-probability particular form S = k ln W ) as nely discussed, in the context B of Information Theory,by Shannon.
